Aamir Khan Intolerance Debate: No Point in backlashing brands for brand ambassador

There is too much debate going on Aamir Khan. His comments have been regarded as Anti-Nationalist and he is facing backlash. The intolerance debate is taking new twists and turns every time. Aamir Khan has clarified himself but the Social Network is not ready to accept him anyway. But before saying all these, it is important to quote Aamir Khan on the intolerance issue.

To complete my answer that there is a sense of fear more than there was earlier. I do feel there is a sense of insecurity. When I sit at home and talk to Kiran.

There is little political motive that can be drawn as he is an apolitical person.

To end to the debate, it is important to mention, that Aamir Khan Comments did not take any attention in International media. However, the backlash that he has faced has grabbed many eyeballs. Many leading newspapers are pointing it as Intolerance.

There is no harm in having some opinion, but to take it to another level and tag it with Anti-National Sentiments do not really go with any ethics.
